Francisco 'Chico' Oliveira Geraldes (born 18 April 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for G.D. Estoril Praia as a midfielder.

Club career[]

Born in Lisbon, Geraldes joined local Sporting CP's youth system in 2003, aged 8. On 30 March 2013, whilst still a junior, he made his professional debut with their reserves, playing one minute in a 3–1 home loss against S.L. Benfica B for the Segunda Liga championship.[2]

Geraldes spent the first part of the 2016–17 season on loan to Primeira Liga team Moreirense FC,[3] his maiden appearance in the competition taking place on 13 August 2016 in a 1–1 home draw with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[4] His first goal came the following weekend, when he helped the visitors defeat C.D. Feirense 3–0 also as a starter.[5]

In late January 2017, both Geraldes and Daniel Podence were recalled from their loans by Sporting manager Jorge Jesus.[6] He made his competitive debut for his parent club on 11 March, coming on as a late substitute in the 4–1 away win over C.D. Tondela.[7]

For 2017–18, still owned by Sporting, Geraldes signed with Rio Ave FC.[8] The following campaign, in the same situation, he joined Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt.[9]

On 24 June 2019, Geraldes was loaned to AEK Athens F.C. with no purchase option included in the deal.[10] On 21 August 2020, he returned to Rio Ave on a permanent three-year contract.[11]

International career[]

Geraldes won two caps for Portugal at under-21 level. His first was on 6 October 2016, in a 3–3 draw in Hungary for the 2017 UEFA European Championship qualifiers where he provided an assist to Podence.[12] The following month, he featured in the 3–1 friendly win against the Czech Republic in Setúbal.[13]

Personal life[]

An avid reader, Geraldes listed George Orwell as his favourite author.[14][15]
